Sandoz Employer Reviews

Im a former operations manager- In my 25 years of pharmaceutical experience this is the most unprofessional , disrespectful , slave driving place I ever worked.

Constant communication between departments to ensure minimal plant/production disruptions

searching for parts to set up or end of batch change overs. learned how to run a Fette machine. Management wasn't that good. I had great co-wokers.

Typical work week is 48 hours. Rarely get a free Saturday. Management changes about once per year. Get to setup and troubleshoot machines, but cleaning the rooms is not enjoyable.

Great place to work if you like a 9-5 job. Good management and culture. Traditional style.

Nice company to work for...
Learning there is guaranteed.
Fun group of people let the environment better to deal with.

Positivies - Lots of new talent and some good pople to work with. They allow you to take on as much as you want if you are up for a challenge.

Negatives - No work / life balance. Long hours. Questions about job security.

Great company to work for. Friendly people, nice enviroment.

Sandoz is very good to there employees. They offer many hours to there employees. Most. Employees have been employed over ten years

Very much enjoyed the diversity of the position, was very fortunate to work with every area in the company. I started out as a temp receptionist and got to know a lot about the company. I was promoted several times during my time at Sandoz - each opportunity allowing me to build on my knowledge and skills. My co-workers were my extended family. My position – more... allowed me to do what I do best - help. Make things easier for my manager and make sure things were in order. – less

This company was a very good place to work and became apart of Novartis. The research pipeline was plentiful and the SOP were very well planned out and adhered too.
Once the company was acquired and merged with Ciba; this may have been the best marriage of any two Research Company in the industry. They took the time to make certain that everyone (from – more... both jurisdictions) were on the same page before the Novartis sign was in place. Management was Exemplary and the company (Novartis), treated all who worked with them and for them with respect and appreciation. – less

A challenging environment, but Pharmaceuticals is an overall great career choice.

overall good company.
friendy co-workers.
a reputed MNC
good company to work.

Friendly and talkative people get away from doing any work. Other people suffer with all the work all the time. Also friendly people get promotions. To get a job you need to know right people not right education, because person with psychology degree is working as a chemist II.

My job at Sandoz was temporary through a temp agency. Zandoz ended my assignment. I was very excited about my job. I like assiting others . I did everything that I was asked to do and I did it well. I was willing to learn everything that I needed to know about my job. I got along well with others. The person that was in charge wasn't very helpful to – more... me. She said I was not catching on that's why she ended my assignment. There was nothing hard about doing my job. There was time when I didn't have anything to do. I like to stay busy. – less

Novartis is a good company to work for and would not be against anyone applying.

A typical day at work is rushed and chaotic. I am seeking a more targeted, focused role in which I can display my growth in management and other areas.

Interesting talking to people with drug reactions, important job to make sure all information is taken quickly

Fun workplace and i learned how to press and coat the tablets

Development & validation of analytical methods. coworkers are very good helpful
